    What was that ironic quote last year from Pat Riley? Something like "The Spurs have it easy. They get to play the worst team in the league (Blazers) on their ring night." Mega-jinx for the Heat.

    Pretty stupid comment really. Not that the Blazers are world beaters, but we aren't anywhere close to a bottom of the barrel team.

    Even dumber considering the Blazers were 28-13 at home last season and haven't lost at home this season -including home wins over two teams that won 57 and 55 games last season. They are still dreadfully inconsistent on the road, but this "young" team has learned how to protect home court. That would be a good goal for Minnesota - and the first step to respectability.

    Since that came from Randy Wittman, I'd consider that a compliment and a portent of good things to come.
